Welcome to Canal Winchester!
Our community is a vibrant and historic town located approximately 15 miles southeast of downtown Columbus, Ohio. Established in 1828, Canal Winchester has a rich history in agriculture, commerce and transportation. From 1831 until 1902, the Ohio and Erie Canal was routed through what today is historic downtown Canal Winchester. Now positioned along U.S. Route 33 in Franklin and Fairfield counties, this growing community - which still boasts plenty of small town charm - is within a 10 minute drive of central Ohio's major interstate highways, international airports and big city amenities.
We're glad you stopped in to explore this site. If you haven't already, we hope your next step will be to visit us in person to see for yourself what our great town has to offer. In the meantime, enjoy the site!

Neighborhoods: Capitol District
Apollos is GREAT! – Apollo's is great! I don't know what these negative reviewers are talking about! We have ALWAYS had good food here...everything we have ever tried. The selection is great! Fast service, good and friendly staff. Our favorites are cheesesteak sub, LASAGNA! and the meat Stromboli! Try it. you WILL like it!
Such a value – I love this place. It's so cheap and the food I got was really good. Definitely worth it for the value.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE – HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I went last night for dinner and was charged $ 246.88 instead of $24.68. When I told the cashier that she had made a mistake when entering the amount she looked at me like I was the idiot. The manager came over and "voided" the transaction. I was told to call if I have any problems. So this morning I check my bank account and it shows being charged twice from Apollos. Once for the $24.68 and then for $246.88. I called the bank first and see if they had any record of a "void" for $246.88. The bank suggested that we call Apollo and see what is going on. We were told that they were too busy to help us and that if I gave them my credit card number they would call me back. I told them I would not give them my CC number but did have the transaction number from the receipt. We then asked for a manager and were told that he was busy and could not come to the phone. At that point I asked what kind of customer service is it that they can charge me $220 extra for a meal and don't have the time to help me out. I then asked again for the manager and all of a sudden the man on the phone claimed he was the manager. Then he decided he had enough of me and hung up the phone. Who in the world is to busy to help a customer that has been wronged...I'll tell you who, someone who is trying to get extra money out of people. He knew he was wrong since we wouldn't give his name. The cashier was an idiot...she must be family...I didn't mention that we ordered a greek salad and got a container of lettuce and ranch dressing. I also must agree with the comment about the garlic knots..first off they should be called dough knots...there was no garlic on them. I'm pretty sure they make them once a week and reheat, I could not poke them with a fork. I will never go back to that place. I would suggest you go there for dinner if you want to eat poo and be over charged. If that's what you're looking for...Apollo's has no problem accommodating that request!!!!
Good food, good service, go now! – I was first introduced to Apollo's 5 years ago when I started working in the West End. I have been dining there faithfully ever since! This place has the perfect mixture of old world charm and Mom-n-Pop hospitality. From the pizza to the subs and salads, everything I've had has been flavorful and delicious. The food always comes back the way I ordered it. The service is prompt, which is important when you're on a 45 minute lunch break. If you haven't been yet, see for yourself. Enjoy dining outside on the patio, or have your food delivered! Great options, great food!
First time food critic :)
Gross! – This is the worst food I've ever had. I gave my dog a garlic knot and he died! The pizza is also as oily as a 2cent gas station. Not to mention the owner's kid is fat.
Worst pizza I have ever had. – Disgusting pizza. I ordered a large pepperoni and could only eat 1 slice before I threw it out. Not crisp at all. The pizza was buttery, sugary, soggy and had no crunch at all. I've had frozen pizza better than this. I do not recommend this place. If you want good pizza, stick with Mary Angelo's in Cary Town and Arianna's in the fan.
Great food – I have no idea why the last poster is saying they have bad pizza. The have great food, great service, and their pizza is awesome. I have been going there for 4 years now and I have never once had a bad experience. I say go try it and you too will become an Apollo's fan.
I guess people has no taste – I have had italian food at many places and ate pizza in many places. It was thanksgiving and there was no open place in richmond. And it was my first and last visit to Apollo because i ordered their gigantic pizza and i just tried little bit and i dumped the rest (and i was starving) it is that bad.
Apollos is the best pizza place in Richmond not only because there pizza is amazing they have a wide range of other gret foods you can get
(subs,pizza,calzones,stromboli,spaghetti, tons of side orders, deserts,and a lot more than any other place in richmond) ive been to all three of there locations in richmond and every single one has the nicest staff and the best food, they never settle for less....mmmmmm..apollos!!!!
Best Italian Food – The staff is friendly, the location is convient and they make the best subs!!

Post-war justice and reconciliation in the region of former Yugoslavia
The dissolution of the former Yugoslavia was accompanied by three major wars: in Croatia (1991-1995), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) and Kosovo* (1998-1999). In addition, there were two smaller-scale, shorter conflicts in Slovenia (June-July 1991) and in "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (January-August 2001). These conflicts were marked by gross human rights violations, including 'ethnic cleansing' and atrocities unseen in Europe since World War II.
The legacy of this violent past still lingers across the region of former Yugoslavia endangering the full enjoyment of human rights, democracy and rule of law. The return to normalcy has been slow and major obstacles remain. The lack of a systematic approach across the region to tackle past gross human rights violations has resulted in impunity and the erosion of rule of law. Concerning war-related criminal proceedings, witness protection systems remain limited in their capacity and reportedly fail to inspire confidence and trust among existing and potential witnesses. War victims do not have access to adequate, effective or proportionate reparation for the harms they have suffered.
During his country visits and continuous dialogue with national authorities and civil society in the region, the Commissioner takes note of the progress achieved. He also identifies obstacles to the effective resolution of the pending issues concerning post-war justice and reconciliation and provides advice on ways to ensure the respect for human rights and thereby durable peace in the region of former Yugoslavia.

Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs dies
RAW VISION: known for his role in the Great Train Robbery of 1963, British criminal Ronnie Biggs has died at the age of 84.PT0M50S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2zlw9 620 349 December 18, 2013

The Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs, whose escape from jail and decades spent on the run in Australia and Brazil made him one of Britain's most notorious criminals, has died at the age of 84.
Biggs had suffered a series of strokes in recent years and was at the time of his death on Wednesday being cared for in a home.
Biggs was part of a gang of robbers, masterminded by Bruce Reynolds, that stopped the Glasgow-Euston overnight mail train in 1963 and escaped with £2.6 million ($4.75 million), an amount equivalent to £40 million today. It was the biggest robbery of its time.

The self-defined "crook" won worldwide notoriety after escaping Wandsworth prison in London in 1965 and living the high life in Rio de Janeiro and Sydney.
He spent 36 years on the run before finally being arrested and jailed in 2001.
Released from prison on compassionate grounds in 2009 because of ill health, he was being cared for in a north London nursing home. He had become increasingly frail in recent years after suffering several strokes and died on Wednesday morning in London. He was last seen in public at Reynolds' funeral in March.

Biggs's place in the annals of crime owed more to his status as a notorious fugitive than his prowess as a villain.
His conviction for his part in the robbery and his subsequent escape and high-profile life in Australia then Rio de Janeiro brought him the sort of worldwide notoriety in which he seemed to revel.
On July 8, 1965, Biggs made a daring escape from Britain's Wandsworth prison just over 12 months into his 30-year sentence for his part in the robbery.

While other prisoners created a diversion in the exercise yard, Biggs scaled a wall with a rope ladder and dropped onto a furniture van parked alongside.
After a brief stopover in Paris for plastic surgery to change his appearance, he travelled to Australia, entering the country on a false passport using an assumed name.
For several months he ran a boarding house in Adelaide, using the name Terry King, and in June 1966 his wife Charmian and two children joined him, also on false passports.

The family moved first to Perth and then to Melbourne, where Biggs took a job as a foreman carpenter at Tullamarine in the name of Cooke. During this time his son Chris Brent learned about Aussie Rules and even played a year with Fitzroy's under-19s.
In 1968 came a breakthrough for his Ronnie Biggs' pursuers. Biggs had formed a business partnership with another fugitive from British justice. His partner was arrested and the trail began to hot up.
But a year later, a security slip allowed the elusive Biggs to slip the net yet again. A Melbourne newspaper published a story that the manhunt was being renewed in the city and the report was taken up by TV.

A day before police swooped on his home, Biggs had packed a suitcase and disappeared - without even taking the family.
Ronald Arthur Biggs had been, essentially, a small-time crook who suddenly and unexpectedly found himself in the big league.
He was born on August 8, 1929, and his first court appearance came as a 15-year-old in January 1945 - for stealing pencils from Littlewoods, a department store.

In 1950, Biggs cut a faintly absurd figure in the robbery of a bookie in Lambeth Road. His contribution was to ask the bookie's wife for her handbag.
"When she did not have one, Biggs picked up a vase as though to hit her," reads the court report of the case.
Nine convictions and 13 years later he was given the chance to play a bit part in a robbery on an altogether grander scale and, by accepting it, set himself on the path to a lifetime of infamy.
He joined the gang which held up the Royal Mail night train from Glasgow to London on his 34th birthday, August 8, 1963 - the Great Train Robbery.
Biggs's role was to find a driver for the train. In fact, the driver he found had problems with the controls and the train's legitimate driver, 57-year-old Jack Mills, was hit with iron bars and forced to move the train. He died seven years later.
The hold-up was planned in minute detail and, initially at least, was a spectacular success.
The gang shared out the proceeds - Biggs taking around £148,000 - but thereafter things started to go badly wrong, with nearly all the gang members being rounded up by the police.
In fact, the hideout was a huge mistake on the part of the gang. The police were telling reporters that they were looking for an isolated farm which had just changed hands and which was 40 kilometress from the scene of the crime. The farm met every one of these requirements.
When the gang became aware that the police were hot on their scent, they quit the farm hurriedly, leaving behind scores of tell-tale fingerprints.
It was then but a matter of time before most of the ringleaders were rounded up.
Eleven of the robbers got jail sentences ranging from 14 to 30 years.
Anthony Delano, who wrote a book about the robbery, told Sky News on Wednesday that Biggs was an "idiot".
"He was a small time south London crook who nobody wanted on the team because he was a weak link."
But for many years, Biggs made law enforcement look like the idiots.
Following his vanishing act from Australia, the trail went cold.
Throughout 1970 and 1971, there were reports of sightings in Hong Kong, South Africa and Japan, but there were no firm leads as to Biggs' precise whereabouts.
The Australian underworld put it about that he had been killed in a plane crash.
In fact, he was building a new life for himself in Brazil.
In the sunshine city of Rio de Janeiro the fugitive, now calling himself Michael Haynes, carved out a new career as a jobbing carpenter.
But his peace was shattered on February 1, 1974, when he was tracked down in Rio by the Daily Express reporter Colin MacKenzie - and shortly afterwards by Detective Inspector Jack Slipper of Scotland Yard.
But the police's efforts to get Biggs back to Britain were foiled by Brazilian law.
Biggs had got his Brazilian lover Raimunda de Castro pregnant, and, as the father of a Brazilian child, had won himself immunity from extradition under Brazilian law.
In May 1978, in an interview for the Sunday Times, Biggs told how he learned of the technicality which was to preserve his freedom.
"I found myself in a cell, feeling very sour, with a couple of Rio taxi drivers who shared the bedclothes with me - they gave me the sports pages to sleep under.
"There I am, all upset, and one of these blokes says to me: 'If you could pretend to have got a Brazilian girl pregnant, bribe or beg one, do anything, but get one, then they can't extradite you. Only deport you.'
"I said, Look, fellas, you're not going to believe this, but.."
Michael, his son, was later to earn a different kind of renown in Brazil as a pop star.
Raimunda eventually left Biggs, but a lucky star continued to shine over him.
In March 1981, he was kidnapped in Rio by a gang of adventurers and smuggled to Barbados by boat. Their aim was to bring him back to Britain.
But the Barbados High Court decided the rules governing extradition to Britain had not been properly put before the island's parliament, and Biggs pulled off another Houdini-like escape, being allowed to return to Rio.
In 1978, Biggs made a CD, No One is Innocent, with the punk rock group the Sex Pistols.
During lean times in Rio, he also raised money by selling T-shirts of himself and entertaining Japanese tourists, posing in pictures with them for cash.
But for Biggs, the holiday was over. He suffered his first stroke in 1998 though he recovered to throw a 70th birthday party.
Second and third strokes followed, permanently ending his days of beaches and parties, and starting the chain of events that led to his return to Britain and a life as prisoner.
Barely a month back in his home country, a fourth stroke followed and Biggs was moved from prison to a hospital.
He was finally granted compassionate release from his prison sentence on August 6 2009, just two days before his 80th birthday.
Biggs turned 84 on August 8, the 50th anniversary of the Great Train Robbery.
He said at the time he had few regrets about the crime that made him a household name. Biggs, who could not speak and communicated through a spelling board, said: "If you want to ask me if I have any regrets about being one of the train robbers, my answer is, 'No!'
"I will go further: I am proud to have been one of them. I am equally happy to be described as the 'tea-boy' or 'The Brain'.
"I was there that August night and that is what counts. I am one of the few witnesses, living or dead, to what was then 'the Crime of the Century'."
But he did regret that the train driver was injured.
"And he was not the only victim," Biggs said. "The people who paid the heaviest price ... are the families. The families of everyone involved in the Great Train Robbery, and from both sides of the track.
"All have paid a price for our collective involvement in the robbery. A very heavy price, in the case of my family.
"For that, I do have my regrets."

Community Issues That Matter: Local retail sales, adjusted for inflation, declined in Elizabethton, Carter County
By Bob Robinson
The recession and inflation adversely affected retail sales in Elizabethton and Carter County in the Second Quarter of 2012, and the slump in sales tax receipts is being felt by local governments and schools.
"Carter County dollar sales increased 0.9 percent in the second quarter of 2012. But we (Carter County) also had inflation of 1.9% in the same period, so real sales in Carter County (retail volume) declined by about 1 percent. A fluctuation of this size is routine when looking at county and small city data," said F. Steb Hipple, ETSU professor of economics and associate in the Bureau of Business and Economic Research.
According to the Tennessee Department of Revenue report for August 2012, net local option sales tax collections (the amount after a 1.125 percent deduction by the State of Tennessee for administrative costs) totaled $910,834 in Carter County. The August 2012 report reflected actual collections in July 2012.
A total of $695,839 went to the City of Elizabethton, $184,297 to Carter County, $18,150 to the City of Watauga, and $12,546 to Johnson City, the latter for sales in the western part of Carter County annexed by the City of Johnson City.
According to City of Elizabethton Finance Director Jerome Kitchens, local option sales tax receipts to the City of Elizabethton for the month of August 2012 indicated net collections of $695,839 in July 2012 were down from $718,297 collected in July 2011.
Kitchens said there was also a reduction in net collections for education, which is distributed to city and county school systems based on average daily attendance. For the month of July 2012, schools received $347,919, down from $359,148 received for the same period in 2011.
The City of Elizabethton's General Fund proceeds net for school capital projects deduction, totaling $281,815, were down from $290,910 received for the same period in 2011.
According to the Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.–based, nonpartisan tax research organization, Tennessee local sales taxes average 2.43 percent. Forty-four of the 95 counties in Tennessee are at the maximum 2.75 rate. The lowest county sales tax, 1.5 percent, is in Johnson County.
In Tennessee, the retailers' sales and use tax is imposed on the privilege of selling tangible personal property at retail or storing such property for use or consumption in the state.
According to www.BizFilings. com, the sales and use tax in Tennessee is imposed on every person who:
• Engages in the business of selling tangible personal property at retail, uses or consumes any item or article of tangible personal property, irrespective of ownership;
• Receives property or services subject to the sales or use tax ;
• Rents or furnishes any property or services subject to the sales or use tax ;
• Stores for use or consumption in Tennessee any item or article of tangible personal property;
• Leases or rents tangible personal property, either as lessor or lessee, within Tennessee; and,
• Charges taxable admission, dues, or fees; sells space to transient dealers or vendors.
The sales and use tax applies to sale, rental, or charges for accommodations furnished to transients, garage and parking lot services, telecommunications, repair services performed with respect to tangible personal property, laundering, dry cleaning, bathing and grooming of animals, installations of tangible personal property, and charges for warranty or service contracts.
Tennessee has the highest average combined sales tax rates in the U.S. at 9.43 percent for every dollar spent on taxable items, according to the Tax Foundation. Next highest are Arizona, 9.12 percent, Louisiana, 8.86 percent, Washington State, 8.83 percent, and Oklahoma, 8.68 percent. Even with the highest combined sales tax rate, Tennessee was ranked 13th in overall business tax climate by the Tax Foundation in both 2011 and 2012.
Five states with the lowest average combined rates are Hawaii, 4.35 percent, Maine, 5 percent, Virginia, 5 percent, Wyoming, 5.18 percent, and Wisconsin, 5.43 percent.
The highest sales tax rate in the U.S. is in Tuba City, Arizona, which has a combined rate of 13.725 percent. This rate is composed of a 6.6 percent state tax, a 1.125 percent Coconino county tax, and an additional 6 percent tribal tax levied by the To'Nanees'Dizi local government.
Local option sales tax collections fluctuate each month based upon spending habits of residents and visitors to Carter County.

Here's Manjula, Shannon and Douglas at our last Vermont Woods Studios staff meeting. I'm happy to note they all have re-usable water bottles in hand (although they're all making fun of me for taking a picture of it).
Anyway, as part of our Earth Day Green Up Your Workplace Challenge, we're trying to persuade you to bring a re-usable water bottle to work instead of buying drinks at the vending machine.
Here's a couple reasons why:
So even though we can transform disposable, single-use plastic bottles into beautiful Polywood outdoor furniture like the recycled plastic Adirondack chairs we're sitting in here, there are still 22 billion bottles that end up in landfills or polluting our oceans every year. Check out this video on ocean plastic pollution to learn more. Then be sure to attend (virtually, of course– it only takes a mouse click) our Green-Up Your Workplace Challenge on Facebook and see if you can persuade your co-workers to give up disposable plastic bottle for good!

Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Your Solaris Alternative
July 16, 2011
There were 2 primary reasons that IT professionals previously chose the Sun SPARC platform to power their IT infrastructures:
- Performance of the hardware
- Robustness of the Solaris operating system
As price, performance, and reliability of industry-standard x86_64 servers have increased to the point where they can meet and exceed these features, the reasons to continue buying SPARC hardware have become less compelling. Similarly, Linux®—in particular Red Hat® Enterprise Linux—has emerged as the operating system of choice to leverage the benefits of an open, industry-standard architecture.

Chelan Wildlife Area Management Plan
Habitat - Wildlife Area Management
Date Published: November 2006
Number of Pages: 75
Author(s): Marc Hallet
Acquisition and management of the Chelan Wildlife Area began in 1963 as a result of an agreement with Chelan County Public Utilities District (PUD - Rocky Reach Dam federal license). This agreement provided funding for the purchase of 20,211 acres of land. In 1983, the Department of Transportation transferred to WDFW another 1,046 acres of land in the western part of Chelan Butte as a result of a land exchange. The Pateros (1,900 acres) and White River Units (415 acres) were added to the Chelan Wildlife Area in the late 1990's.
The primary management goal for the Chelan Wildlife Area was initially to protect, maintain and enhance upland game and big game habitat. Since then, more management emphasis has been directed toward non-game species. The primary public management concerns and issues identified in the Chelan Wildlife Area Plan include:
In 2006, WDFW continued to protect and maintain existing developments and habitat plantings. Developments included woody riparian vegetation and food plot establishment. These efforts will continue in 2007.

MONTGOMERY — Village Board candidate Josh Salisbury is suggesting the 8,000 residents of unincorporated Boulder Hill be annexed into the village.
For several decades, Boulder Hill residents have received their water from the village of Montgomery, but pay some 20 percent more than a resident of the village.
Over the past year the water issue has made headlines, as Boulder Hill residents complained of orange, rusty water coming from the older pipes under their streets.
Montgomery recently announced the cost for the needed water line improvements is estimated at $8.2 million. How the total bill will be paid is an ongoing discussion item.
In 1977, a move was made to incorporate the then-small neighborhood, measuring about 1.4 square miles, into the village of Oswego. But that move was never made.
Since then, Boulder Hill has experienced infrastructure needs, but no city or village is responsible for the improvements.
"The last study was done in 1977. Opinions change in 35 years," Salisbury said. "Do you want to come on board with the village?"
Salisbury said Montgomery would better serve the residents of Boulder Hill.
"I plan to walk around and persuade them. It will cost a little up front but they would be better served," he said.
He said while the residents already pay a premium for their water needs, the additional tax dollars would help the village and in the long run the residents of Boulder Hill.
Salisbury said the plan is part of his platform as he seeks election to the Village Board in the spring.
"This has not seriously been looked at since I have been here, in 2001," said acting Village Administrator Jeff Zoephel about the annexation issue.
"We would be responsible for the roads, sidewalks, infrastructure," he said in regard to what annexation to the village would mean.
Trustee Stan Bond said he would welcome the move.
"It would be nice to get them to be part of Montgomery," he said, adding the services the village could offer would benefit Boulder Hill residents.
The question of how the village plans to finance the $8.2 million water main replacement plan in Boulder Hill is on the Village Board agenda for Tuesday.

Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
@Nagisa, THC64 & everyone else caring to read this:
I have two mantras for SPTF pricing:
- Past trades (especially recent past trades) trump our relative feeling of how much an item should be worth.
- If you feel an item is grossly undervalued, trade for it.
Basically, I'd tend to agree that Cham is a very useful rune. Right now I could really use one to stick it in my Vamp Gaze, for my Baal runner. I think it'd help my moron's survivability a lot. I didn't use to think Cham was very useful. You know when I changed my mind? When I finally got 'Enigma', 'Beast', 'Faith', 2x 'Fortitude', 2x 'Grief' and 'Infinity'. Before then, I'd have argued against higher value of Cham.
See where I'm going with this? How we value runes depends on how much wealth we do have. You're not after the runewords you have. If I found a Cham 3 months ago, I'd have traded it for Sur. Now I'm more inclined to trade a Sur (if I find one) for a Cham, probably add a bit. When people keep getting richer, eventually they are likely to quit playing. At the same time new people coming in want those runewords. Since not everyone gives away all their stuff when they quit, there's a constant need for lower HR's (Lo, Ber) from the new-er players.
Here is where my second mantra comes in: all those people (and I guess I'm starting to become one of them) who need Chams and think they are undervalued: unless they start trading for them, it won't change a thing. I haven't seen an ISO: Cham FT: Sur. Until I do see one, and see it remaining unanswered, it's all purely academic discussion on out parts...

Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
Welcome to our world Greebo
This is quite fresh actually. Lo+ for Cham. I think we can all agree that this trade was in fashion of Sur vs Cham.
Cham is indeed tricky subject, but I stand at my valuation, and Cham is worth much more then Sur for me. Of course others can and will have different opinion on this matter.
- If you feel an item is grossly undervalued, trade for it
01-03-2011, 09:56 #34
Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
Your points contradict a tad, though I do agree with you for the most part. If all trade values are relative, which they are, it doesn't make any sense to say values should be based solely upon the past as opposed to where individual people, within reason, stand on the values. That's the whole point of having relative ranges in values, numbers which I do more or less agree with, by the way.
As far as your second point, you're 100% correct, aside from that it's a bit wrong to simply be calling out "rich people", whatever those are.
01-03-2011, 10:13 #35
Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
Well, I didn't mean it in an offensive manner. I mean, I think we can agree that there are quite a few long timers who have significant amount of D2 wealth. It's mostly those people that value Cham higher, at least that's my perception. And although you keep doing all you can to give your wealth away (for which I am grateful), same cannot be said about all of us.
I'm not exactly sure why you're saying that I'm contradicting myself. I mean I read what you wrote but I don't get it. What do you mean?
01-03-2011, 10:33 #36
Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
It's kind of like what you used to say. If past trades really are the standard upon which you pass judgment of value, it's pointless to deal with what you might've done in scenario x, y, or z, or that your perception on the status or trends of traders is a certain way.
In any case, I agree with how you feel about the forum, but think past trades don't mean any more than how the traders feel at that particular moment. The beauty of having ranges as well as that pesky disclaimer about values being relative.
It's 27:30, so if I just said anything stupid... yeah.

Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
Are there any value/demand left in 175psn dmg SC's?
Like this for example
Pestilent Small Charm of Strength Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus Required Level: 80 Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion Item Level: 99 Fingerprint: 0xc29a9b69 +2 to Strength +175 poison damage over 6 seconds
Sidenots with a little of my thougth about value:
Some of you are sort of on to it but isn't it to "over-work" it a little to really trying to come to some kind of "this should/could/would" be the price of something? Specially highrunes. Ok I can admit it could be good to have a base idea but even so, when I go trading if there's someting I want I usally don't mind paying/getting payed 1/10th or 10 times the value från the priceguide, if the net result is me getting an item I want without loosing something I use or need.
01-03-2011, 11:22 #38
Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
Poison small charms are not very valuable at all, and +2 Str is not a suffix that'll add value. A hadnful of PGems at the very most.
I kinda get what your saying. Things is, even though some people might feel that Cham should be worth around a Ber, they won't trade like that, because
- either they won't be able to find another person willing to do such a trade (I think Snickersnack couldn't trade his Cham for Ber, sorry if I'm confusing people)
- they will take a better deal (if I can get a Cham with a Sur, why pay a Ber for it?)
So even though the relative values of runes for all of us may differ, and traders might value runes very differently than "my" or Fabian's table, most of the time they will act according to the "market", i.e. past trades.
I'm pretty sure I'm not saying anything new here, so I'll make my last post on the subject.
PS. Nagisa: go to sleep! Though I remember I did once watch an entire season of "24", all episodes without break, a day before 2 exams...

Would there maybe be any interest in a ring like such

Re: SP Price Check Thread - Feb 2011
@Bonesnap: I'm not an expert, but that ring looks extremely valuable to me. It's not perfect, but it's close enough to probably have a lot of value. I doubt I could afford it if you put it up for auction, but I've been wrong about these things before...
Is it from an earlier version? I wasn't aware that you could get over 30 (on a rare) in 1.13c. If so, that probably increases it's value even more.

Smith and Wollensky, the answer to that question is a firm yes. The Daily News is reporting that an Italian Tourist was thrown in the slammer the other night for racking up a $200 dinner charge, even though he promised that he could pony up the cash if he could just run home and get his wallet. Sure, "I left my wallet at home" is a likely story, but the diner said that a busboy could come back to his apartment with him to get the cash, and he even said that he'd leave his smartphone as collateral. Despite his pleas, the management were having none of it. They called the NYPD who promptly arrived and arrested the dude, making him spend the night in jail.
Harsh, yes, but we all forget things now and then. The cops refused to take him back to his place, saying that they "weren't a taxi service," but the judge dismissed the charges next day. What do you think - should the owner have given him a chance to pay before alerting the fuzz, or is a night in jail a fair punishment for showing up sans cash? [via Grub Street]

It's funny how this isn't even accurate. They don't bother mentioning the fact that the man did in fact have a wallet on him with $118 and the truth is he just didn't want to pay.ReplyDelete
Well, what you didn't bother to mention is that he offered to leave his iPhone as collateral and got get his wallet TO COVER THE DIFFERENCE. He told the restaurant that he had $118 in cash but needed to get more from the hotel. Remember, judge dismissed the case the next morning?ReplyDeleteReplies

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

A Suspension Engineer Goes Head Over Heels For His Unlimited
Home mechanics often complain about how the people who design auto parts must not have to install or use those products. Foreign-sports-car engineers are the most common targets of home-mechanic venom, but aftermarket truck parts designers aren't immune.
Luckily, many 4x4 manufacturers are small enough that - for better or worse - their engineers have a hands-on stake in product development and testing. Their jobs don't entirely involve playing with CAD/CAM software on a computer screen. Superlift/Black Diamond Head Engineer Kevin Dill is one example of a hands-on product designer. Before signing on with Superlift, Kevin designed the original Atlas transfer case while working for Advance Adapters, so he has broad-based knowledge of what backcountry 4x4 enthusiasts need to go farther and better.
First, Kevin shelved the stock engine and transmission in favor of a 6.1L Hemi V8 coupled to a 545RFE automatic transmission. This drivetrain is a first for a TJ Wrangler and is an outgrowth of Superlift's project-vehicle relationship with Chrysler's Jeep SkunkWerks team. Previous project friends at Street & Performance in Mena, Arkansas, supplied and prepped the Hemi, then handled the swap using a wiring harness from Squier Incorporated (also in Mena).Instead of using custom one-off parts to build the rest of his Jeep, Kevin selected from among the best off-the-shelf parts the off-road industry offers.
An aluminum Griffin radiator helps dissipate the V8 heat. Once his Jeep was back in Louisiana, Kevin added an Airaid intake and an Edelbrock nitrous system to wake things up even further. Terry Carpenter, local talent in West Monroe, Louisiana, custom-fabricated and TIG-welded a stainless steel exhaust system using a single Edelbrock SDT muffler.Underneath, a Dill-designed Superlift 4-inch Rockrunner long-arm kit was the underlying reason for this Jeep. To fit 39x13.50-17 BFG Krawlers on 17x9 Walker Evans beadlocks, Kevin also designed and added in the Black Diamond Bilstein coilover shock option to his build. (The suspension kit's threaded Rockrunner arms allow a wide range of caster adjustment to restore handling.)
